This article does not meet WP:ARTIST or WP:GNG. Contains a lot of factual errors, no major coverage in reliable sources. MaRAno 10:04, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: The creator of this article, Drmies, delisted Lips Are Movin – an article the nominator has worked on extensively – as a good article a few hours before this nomination was made. Seems like a classic case of WP:REVENGE. I'm remaining neutral for now, though a quick Google search showed at least some coverage: –Chase (talk / contribs) 21:40, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

• After seeing more sources that have been added, it's an obvious keep from me. Closer should consider a speedy keep – WP:SK#2 may be applicable as this nomination is disruptive, vexatious, and has extremely questionable motives. –Chase (talk / contribs) 17:23, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you Chase: yeah, that's kind of silly. It's ironic: this article was created after a prompt on Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women writers/Missing articles; I suspect either Rosiestep or Ipigott added it. Rosiestep, like you I'm always looking for the DYK and perhaps you can find a thing or two. Coverage is not so easy for a non-English writer, but we'll find it through the DBNL, for instance. With that many books in such a small country, she's bound to be notable, and I have no doubt that MaranoFan will do the decent thing and withdraw the nomination. I'll beef up the article, of course.

• Keep Can't see any valid reason to delete. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:55, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
• Snow keep. If the nominator had done a bit of googling, they would have learned that Lulu Wang was the "best-selling Dutch author of 1997". In addition to adding this gem, I've expanded the article with other content to include inline citations. Check out her Authority Control -- quite awesome, indeed. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:40, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
